ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom)

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is a separatist militant group formed in Assam, India, in 1979. It seeks to establish an independent Assam, advocating for the rights and identity of the Assamese people. The group has been involved in armed conflict and has aimed to resist perceived cultural and economic marginalization by the Indian state. Over the years, ULFA has been both a subject of political negotiations and military action by Indian authorities. Efforts for peace and integration continue, reflecting the complex dynamics of ethnicity, nationalism, and regional politics in Northeast India.
